Last night, the Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C. concluded the day-long proceedings celebrating the official inauguration of president Donald Trump—the nation’s 47th president. Following the swearing-in ceremony, Trump and First Lady Melania Trump—as well as several other members of the Trump family—headed over to the Liberty Ball, where guests such as Eric Trump and wife Lara Trump, Vice President JD Vance and wife Usha Vance, and First Daughter Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner all donned their finest formal attire. But it was Ivanka’s custom ball gown that held a deeper story.
Appearing on the main stage to engage in a formal waltz, Trump wore a custom black and white Givenchy gown that served as a recreation of the same 1954 haute couture silhouette that Hubert de Givenchy created for Audrey Hepburn, which she can be seen wearing in the film Sabrina alongside co-star Humphrey Bogart. The strapless dress, complete with a full skirt and fitted bodice, was complete with intricate black lace detailing; Trump wore it with black opera gloves, while Hepburn originally wore it with a white pair. Trump accessorized it with diamond jewels.
